+And suddenly it’s June. The previous month has been calm on the surface, but
quite hectic underneath — the final testing phase for Flink 1.11 is moving at
full speed, Stateful Functions 2.1 is out in the wild and Flink has made it
into Google Season of Docs 2020.
+
+To top it off, a piece of good news: [Flink
Forward](https://www.flink-forward.org/global-2020) is back on October 19-22 as
a free virtual event!
+

+
+# The Past Month in Flink
+
+## Flink Stateful Functions 2.1 Release
+
+It might seem like [Stateful Functions 2.0 was
announced](https://flink.apache.org/news/2020/04/07/release-statefun-2.0.0.html)
only a handful of weeks ago (and it was!), but the Flink community has just
released Stateful Functions 2.1! This release introduces two new features:
state expiration for any kind of persisted state and support for UNIX Domain
Sockets (UDS) to improve the performance of inter-container communication in
co-located deployments; as well as other important changes [...]
+
+As the community around StateFun grows, the release cycle will follow this
pattern of smaller and more frequent releases to incorporate user feedback and
allow for faster iteration. If you’d like to get involved, we’re always
[looking for new
contributors](https://github.com/apache/flink-statefun#contributing) —
especially around SDKs for other languages (e.g. Go, Rust, Javascript).
+
+<hr>
+
+## Testing is ON for Flink 1.11
+
+Things have been pretty quiet in the Flink community, as all efforts shifted
to testing the newest features shipping with Flink 1.11. While we wait for a
voting Release Candidate (RC) to be out, you can check the progress of testing
in [this JIRA burndown
board](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/RapidBoard.jspa?rapidView=364&projectKey=FLINK)
and learn more about some of the [upcoming
features](https://flink.apache.org/news/2020/05/07/community-update.html#warming-up-for-flink-111)

+## Google Season of Docs 2020
+
+In the last update, we announced that Flink was applying to [Google Season of
Docs (GSoD)](https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs) again this year. The
good news: we’ve made it into the shortlist of accepted projects! This
represents an invaluable opportunity for the Flink community to collaborate
with technical writers to improve the Table API & SQL documentation. We’re
honored to have seen a great number of people reach out over the last couple of
weeks, and look forward to recei [...]
+
+If you’re interested in learning more about our project idea or want to get
involved in GSoD as a technical writer, check out the [announcement
blogpost](https://flink.apache.org/news/2020/05/04/season-of-docs.html) and
[submit your
application](https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/docs/tech-writer-application-hints).
The deadline for GSoD applications is **July 9th, 18:00 UTC**.
